optional187 Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 well...i just got bored and decided to go take apart my dash to see what i'm getting myself into with these gauges and such. took out the two screws up top and got stuck from there. nothing would budge, flathead screwdriver didn't help much. what i was wondering is if either buddysol or darksaint could shoot a link over for a dash removal guide? or maybe if anybody has taken apart their dash and knows whats up then they could help me out. i just need to know where any clips are, and if there are anymore screws. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddySol Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Yah, on bored days I take apart my console to try to get to the climate control. Haven't done that in a while tho. But anyways, I don't think I have a link for the whole dash at this moment...but I do have a useless Chilton's book for the Civic/del Sol, it should have something for your Civic in their. What a waste of money for us Sol owners...the whole book is directed at the Civic, while the del Sol has like one or two things for it. It didn't help much when I was trying to fix the audio in my car. Removing bumpers was another one...as well as the door. Useless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Jesus christ. You look around for the screws and take them out. Thats all that holds it on. BTW, you don't take your dash off to replace the gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trepid Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Ok, simple enough, these threads are here for questions to be answered, if you can't answer a question without insulting someone's intelligence or the task they want to perform then skip the topic... its not hard to just answer a question. Thanks, Trepid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddySol Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 OK, found my guide from Chilton's. Kind of sucks cause it has a picture of gauge clusters for ever Civic/CRX except yours and mine...go figure. BUT, it has some instructions and says there are 3 screws to remove. From there it goes on to removing the instrument cluster...it doesn't even say what to do for a del Sol, what a useless book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S14Silvia Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 i fail to see the point.. a) you dont need to remove your dash to put in GAUGES b) there are like 8 screws... its not rocket science, and its not an engine swap. but in response to the original thread there are several screws on the bottom of the dash and a few on the side by each door, remove climate control and stearing wheel and then pull it off. i know its a scary prospect since there are still clips that hold it in, but if you break them you can buy more at the dealer, they arent that much they're just plastic, not like replacing a transmission or anything. oh and i'd rather be a part of the "gaydm craze" then a ricer anyday.

Give him a break exactly...as i've said a thousand times. and once i found the guide i was looking for, with no help from you butthead members (you know who you are...check the "craplist" in the sig). but from other good members like the "friendlist." bezel is actually pretty easy to remove once you get the guide and know what to look for lindsay. if you need help dont hesitate to pm me... welcome...and nice name. are ya blonde?

JDM Jackass2 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 you still havn't figured out how to take off your damn dash? jesus, it takes me 10 minutes. and no, i don't break it. thats why they are called CLIPS, they CLIP. you yank on a dash, and the CLIPS de-CLIP.

..SSR.. Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hey moron, we helped you, you just decided to listen. Let's see, me, JDMJackass, and S14Silvia all told you how to do it but you still didn't listen. Three people who are smarter than you, maybe you should listen every now and then. Thats all for this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilpinklindz Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Yeah once you find out where the damn clips are it is easy from there and that you have to take off the hazard to get t a screw(at least on mine). But like he said it's done and over with. And hey the1darkprince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilpinklindz Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Superstreetrx7 why are you such an ass? A forum is where people come to ask questions and talk right... YEAH. So when someone asks a question don't be a weiner. I'm so sure that you just know everything, right? When you do stuff on your car, you don't have to ask anyone anything, right. Doubt it! If you don't have any usefull advice or anwsers to the post, then don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
